The 2026/27 Ligue 1 season has completed five matchdays, and the extended September/October international break has brought another round of changes to injury lists across France's top flight.
Some of the most serious cases remain long-term knee injuries. Assane Dioussé and Bryan Okoh are sidelined at Auxerre, Maik Nawrocki is recovering from a complete ACL rupture at Lens, Laurent Abergel and Antoine Mendy have major knee injuries at Nice, and Joaquín Panichelli continues his rehabilitation at Strasbourg.
There have also been important new setbacks. Brest defender Raphaël Le Guen suffered a fractured fibula in training and is expected to miss several months; Marseille have lost Derek Cornelius to a serious hip injury, while PSG midfielder Senny Mayulu is facing several weeks out after suffering a left-thigh injury with France's Under-21 team.
There is positive news as well. Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué have returned for PSG, Angers have recovered Haris Belkebla and Louis Mouton, and several long-term absentees at Monaco have begun playing again. Lens have also given Saud Abdulhamid and Yacine Titraoui comeback minutes during the international break.
I use this tracker to keep the injury picture as clear as possible. I include confirmed injuries, rehabilitation cases and genuine fitness-related absences. I remove players once they return to competitive availability, leave out suspensions and transfer-related absences, and avoid guessing return dates when clubs have not provided reliable information.

1. Angers SCO Injury Update
Angers' injury situation has improved significantly since the previous update. Haris Belkebla and Louis Mouton, who were both recovering from surgery, returned to Angers' matchday squad for the September 19 victory over Troyes.
Their presence among the substitutes confirms that they had progressed beyond their previous injury absences.
Current status: No major club-confirmed first-team injury currently requires a detailed entry in this tracker.
That does not necessarily mean every Angers player is at 100 percent fitness. It means there is currently insufficient evidence of an established injury absence that meets the criteria for inclusion.
2. AJ Auxerre Injury Update
Auxerre continues to carry one of Ligue 1's more significant injury lists.
1. Assane Dioussé
Assane Dioussé remains a long-term absentee after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament rupture during pre-season. Auxerre initially indicated that the midfielder would be unavailable for at least six months.
Current status: Long-term ACL rehabilitation.
Possible return: No guaranteed competitive date; a lengthy absence remains expected.
2. Bryan Okoh
Bryan Okoh continues his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury involving the cruciate ligament.
Current status: Long-term knee rehabilitation.
Possible return: No club-confirmed competitive comeback date.
3. Marvin Senaya
Marvin Senaya remains unavailable because of the significant thigh/hamstring injury that required surgery.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation following surgery.
Possible return: No exact competitive return date has been confirmed.
4. Telli Siwe
Telli Siwe is recovering from a hamstring injury and remains among Auxerre's currently unavailable players.
Current status: Rehabilitation from a hamstring injury.
Possible return: Progressing towards a return, but no competitive match has been confirmed.
Auxerre's latest availability information ahead of the October return to Ligue 1 continues to list Dioussé, Okoh, Senaya and Siwe among the injured players. Sékou Fofana, who had been working back from injury earlier in the campaign, is no longer listed as one of Auxerre's established current absences.
3. Stade Brestois 29 Injury Update
Brest's injury situation has worsened considerably, particularly after the serious setback suffered by Raphaël Le Guen.
1. Brendan Chardonnet
Captain Brendan Chardonnet continues his recovery from the calf injury that has kept him sidelined since before the start of the Ligue 1 season. He has resumed running, but Brest have been careful not to rush his return.
Current status: On-field rehabilitation following a calf injury.
Possible return: Progressing, but no confirmed competitive comeback date.
2. Mamady Diambou
Mamady Diambou remains unavailable because of an ankle injury.
Current status: Continuing ankle rehabilitation.
Possible return: No club-confirmed competitive date.
3. Noah Edjouma
Noah Edjouma is recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in September.
Current status: Rehabilitation from a hamstring problem.
Possible return: No confirmed match date.
4. Raphaël Le Guen
Raphaël Le Guen suffered a serious injury during training on September 24. The young defender sustained a fracture of the fibula and requires surgery. The initial information indicated that his absence would be measured in months rather than weeks.
Current status: Long-term rehabilitation following a fractured fibula.
Possible return: Approximately three to four months was reported as an early estimate, but his actual return will depend on rehabilitation progress.
Hugo Magnetti remains out of the tracker after returning to competitive action from his earlier hamstring problem.

4. Le Havre AC Injury Update
Le Havre continue to manage several important injury absences.
1. Felix Mambimbi
Felix Mambimbi remains unavailable because of an Achilles tendon injury suffered during summer preparations.
Current status: Continuing long-term rehabilitation.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive comeback date.
2. Stephan Zagadou
Stephan Zagadou remains in rehabilitation following a significant cruciate ligament injury.
Current status: Long-term knee rehabilitation.
Possible return: No guaranteed competitive date.
3. Lionel Mpasi
Goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi is sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury.
Current status: Continuing Achilles rehabilitation.
Possible return: No exact competitive date has been confirmed.
4. Timothée Pembélé
Timothée Pembélé was also unavailable through injury for Le Havre's most recent Ligue 1 fixture and remained among the club's absences heading towards the October restart.
Current status: Injured and unavailable.
Possible return: No reliable public timetable.
Mambimbi, Zagadou, Mpasi and Pembélé were all identified among Le Havre's injury absences ahead of the next phase of the Ligue 1 schedule.
Argney, who appeared in the previous version, is no longer retained as a principal current injury entry because more recent availability information does not consistently identify him among Le Havre's established injured players.
5. Le Mans FC Injury Update
Le Mans' previous goalkeeper concern has cleared, but three other players remain in recovery.
1. Lucas Buadés
Lucas Buadés has been receiving treatment following a physical problem.
Current status: Recovering from injury.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive date.
2. Erwan Colas
Erwan Colas remains unavailable while continuing his rehabilitation.
Current status: Injured and in treatment.
Possible return: No reliable return date has been announced.
3. Martin Rossignol
Martin Rossignol was also listed among the players receiving treatment ahead of Le Mans' most recent Ligue 1 match.
Current status: Continuing recovery.
Possible return: No confirmed timetable.
Le Mans listed Buadés, Colas and Rossignol as being in treatment before the September 19 meeting with Lorient.
There is better news regarding Nicolas Kocik. The goalkeeper recovered from his ankle sprain and returned to the starting XI against Lorient, so he is no longer considered a current injury absence.
6. RC Lens Injury Update
Lens continue to manage several important injury situations, although the international break has produced encouraging progress for two players.
1. Maik Nawrocki
Maik Nawrocki suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Strasbourg. Lens confirmed that the defender required surgery and would be unavailable for several months.
Current status: Long-term rehabilitation following ACL surgery.
Possible return: At least six months was the initial estimate.
2. Samson Baidoo
Samson Baidoo remains sidelined by a significant thigh injury.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation.
Possible return: No exact competitive comeback date has been confirmed.
3. Jhoanner Chávez
Jhoanner Chávez remains in rehabilitation from a hamstring/thigh injury.
Current status: Continuing individual rehabilitation.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive match.
There has been encouraging progress regarding Saud Abdulhamid and Yacine Titraoui. Both returned to the pitch during Lens' October 2 friendly against Standard Liège. Abdulhamid played approximately 30 minutes, while Titraoui received around 35 to 40 minutes.
That represents a significant step in their recoveries, so I no longer consider them established injury absences. Their readiness for a full Ligue 1 workload will still depend on how they respond during the final week before the Lyon match. Matthieu Udol and Jonathan Gradit are also no longer included among Lens' principal current injury absences.
7. LOSC Lille Injury Update
Lille currently have three notable injury situations.
1. Hamza Igamane
Hamza Igamane continues his long-term rehabilitation from a serious right-knee ACL injury. He has made progress towards individual work but has not yet returned to competitive action.
Current status: Advanced long-term ACL rehabilitation.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive comeback date.
2. Tanguy Nianzou
Tanguy Nianzou is recovering from a recent physical injury.
Current status: Short-term rehabilitation.
Possible return: No exact competitive date has been guaranteed.
3. Ethan Mbappé
Ethan Mbappé suffered an ankle injury while on international duty with France's Under-21 team at the end of September.
Current status: Recovering from an ankle injury.
Possible return: No club-confirmed competitive return date.
Current availability information continues to identify Igamane and Nianzou as injured, while Mbappé's ankle problem is a newer international-break setback.
8. Olympique Lyonnais Injury Update
Lyon's injury situation has improved considerably.
1. Nicolás Tagliafico
Nicolás Tagliafico suffered a muscular injury during Lyon's European match against Anderlecht. The problem was initially described as relatively minor, but he remains the main established fitness concern ahead of Lyon's return to Ligue 1 action.
Current status: Recovering from a muscular injury.
Possible return: No exact competitive date has been confirmed.
Julien Duranville had returned to collective training and is no longer retained as an established injury case. Lyon's situation is therefore much shorter than it was earlier in September.

9. Olympique de Marseille Injury Update
Marseille's injury picture has changed considerably during the international period.
1. Derek Cornelius
Derek Cornelius suffered a serious hip injury while away with Canada. The defender is facing a lengthy rehabilitation period and is Marseille's most significant current injury case.
Current status: Long-term rehabilitation from a hip injury.
Possible return: Marseille do not expect him back before the end of 2026 based on the initial prognosis.
2. Geoffrey Kondogbia
Geoffrey Kondogbia continues his recovery from the thigh injury suffered against Monaco. His rehabilitation has progressed, and he has been moving closer to a return to collective work.
Current status: Final stages of rehabilitation from a thigh injury.
Possible return: Moving closer, but no competitive comeback has yet been confirmed.
3. Amine Harit
Amine Harit suffered a muscular injury during the September meeting with PSG. He has been following an individual recovery programme.
Current status: Individual work following a muscular problem.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive date.
4. Amine Gouiri
Amine Gouiri returned to Marseille from international duty because of thigh discomfort. The initial information was reassuring, and Marseille expect him to have a realistic chance of being available against Troyes.
Current status: Recovering from minor thigh discomfort.
Possible return: Could be available for the October 11 match against Troyes, but that remains subject to fitness assessment.
There is positive news concerning several other players. Igor Paixão returned to full team training after the knock that forced him off against PSG. Tochukwu Nnadi has also resumed collective training following his knee problem.
Himad Abdelli suffered an ankle scare with Algeria but has already returned to normal collective training with the national team. I therefore do not consider him an established current injury absence.
10. AS Monaco Injury Update
Monaco's long injury list has shortened substantially during the break.
1. Mamadou Coulibaly
Mamadou Coulibaly remains sidelined because of a muscular/quadriceps injury.
Current status: Continuing muscular rehabilitation.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive date.
2. Stanis Idumbo
Stanis Idumbo remains unavailable while recovering from a physical problem that has affected the psoas/back area.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation.
Possible return: No exact competitive date confirmed.
Both were still identified as injured following Monaco's October 3 friendly. There has been substantial progress elsewhere.
Mohammed Salisu, Takumi Minamino and Ansu Fati all returned to match involvement during Monaco's international-break friendly, while Denis Zakaria returned to full training following his adductor discomfort. They should therefore no longer be classified as established injury absences.
11. OGC Nice Injury Update
Nice continue to have one of Ligue 1's most serious injury lists because of multiple long-term cases.
1. Laurent Abergel
Laurent Abergel remains in long-term rehabilitation after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during pre-season.
Current status: Long-term ACL rehabilitation.
Possible return: No official competitive return date.
2. Antoine Mendy
Antoine Mendy suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee against Le Mans. Nice confirmed that the defender would be unavailable for several months.
Current status: Long-term rehabilitation from a left-knee cruciate ligament injury.
Possible return: Several months out; no exact comeback date.
3. Moïse Bombito
Moïse Bombito has required another operation because of continuing problems involving his left tibia following his previous serious leg injury.
Current status: Rehabilitation following further surgery.
Possible return: No reliable competitive return date.
4. Morgan Sanson
Morgan Sanson continues his recovery following surgery during the off-season. He had not returned by Nice's final Ligue 1 match before the international break.
Current status: Continuing post-surgery rehabilitation.
Possible return: No guaranteed competitive date.
Nice's September 20 squad update confirmed Sanson remained unavailable, while Bombito, Mendy and Abergel were all described as longer-term absences. Ali Abdi remains removed from the tracker after returning to competitive action.
12. Paris FC Injury Update
Paris FC currently have three established injury absences.
1. Otávio
Otávio continues his recovery from a thigh injury.
Current status: Rehabilitation from a thigh injury.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive date.
2. Nhoa Sangui
Nhoa Sangui remains unavailable because of an injury. Paris FC have not published enough detailed medical information for me to assign a more specific diagnosis.
Current status: Injured and unavailable.
Possible return: No reliable competitive timetable.
3. Emmanuel Mbemba
Emmanuel Mbemba also remains sidelined.
Current status: Continuing recovery from a leg-related injury.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive return date.
All three remain among Paris FC's current unavailable players ahead of the October 10 trip to Lorient. Jonathan Ikoné has returned to competitive action. He came off the bench against Strasbourg on September 19 and is therefore no longer considered injured.
13. Paris Saint-Germain Injury Update
PSG's injury picture has changed substantially since the previous update.
1. Senny Mayulu
Senny Mayulu suffered an injury to his left thigh while playing for France's Under-21 team against Estonia. PSG subsequently confirmed that he will remain in treatment for the coming weeks.
Current status: Recovering from a left-thigh injury.
Possible return: Expected to miss several weeks; no exact match has been confirmed.
2. Warren Zaïre-Emery
Warren Zaïre-Emery suffered a minor left-thigh injury during PSG's September 20 match against Marseille. PSG confirmed that he would remain in treatment during the international period.
Current status: Recovering from a minor left-thigh injury.
Possible return: Expected to be close to availability when club football resumes, but no competitive return has yet been confirmed.
The major change from the previous tracker concerns Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. Both recovered from their September international injuries and started PSG's Ligue 1 match against Marseille on September 20. They should therefore no longer be listed as current injury absences.
14. Stade Rennais Injury Update
Rennes' injury situation is currently one of the clearest in Ligue 1. Brice Samba has returned from his earlier muscular problem, while Djaoui Cissé has also returned to action. Cissé played 45 minutes during Rennes' October 2 friendly against Laval.
Current availability information ahead of the October 11 match against Auxerre does not identify a major established Rennes first-team injury absence.
Current status: No significant confirmed first-team injury currently requires a detailed entry in this tracker.
As always, this does not guarantee that every player is at maximum fitness. It means there is currently no sufficiently established injury case that meets the tracker criteria.
15. RC Strasbourg Alsace Injury Update
Strasbourg continues to manage two long-term rehabilitation cases and one more recent fitness concern.
1. Joaquín Panichelli
Joaquín Panichelli continues his rehabilitation following surgery for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He has progressed to light work on the training pitch, but Strasbourg are not planning to rush his return.
Current status: Long-term ACL rehabilitation with on-field work underway.
Possible return: Strasbourg have indicated that he is not expected back in competition before early 2027.
2. Martial Godo
Martial Godo has been sidelined by a muscular injury. There has been progress during the international period, with the winger beginning to run again.
Current status: Running as part of his rehabilitation programme.
Possible return: No exact competitive match confirmed.
3. Ismaël Doukouré
Ismaël Doukouré remained in treatment at the end of September because of a minor injury. The problem was sufficient to prevent him from taking part in Strasbourg's collective training session.
Current status: Receiving treatment for a minor injury.
Possible return: No exact timetable; the problem has not been described as long-term.
16. Toulouse FC Injury Update
Toulouse have two main current injury concerns.
1. Rasmus Nicolaisen
Rasmus Nicolaisen has been recovering from a calf injury. He remained unavailable for Toulouse's September 19 match against Le Havre and is still being monitored ahead of the October restart.
Current status: Recovering from a calf injury.
Possible return: No guaranteed competitive date.
2. Abu Francis
Abu Francis remains in his fitness build-up following a hamstring injury.
Current status: Rehabilitation and progressive return to fitness.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive comeback date.
Current pre-match availability information continues to identify Nicolaisen and Francis as Toulouse's injury concerns.
There is positive news regarding Guillaume Restes. The goalkeeper recovered from his thigh problem, returned to full training and was back in Toulouse's squad against Le Havre. He should no longer be considered injured.
17. ESTAC Troyes Injury Update
Troyes continue to manage one of Ligue 1's longer injury lists, with Yacouba Koné suffering the most recent setback.
1. Ismaël Boura
Ismaël Boura remains unavailable because of a hip injury suffered during the summer.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation from a hip injury.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive date.
2. Yvann Titi
Yvann Titi is recovering from a quadriceps/thigh injury. Troyes initially expected the defender to miss approximately two months.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation.
Possible return: No exact comeback match has been confirmed.
3. Paolo Gozzi
Paolo Gozzi has been recovering from a knee problem.
Current status: Rehabilitation from a knee injury.
Possible return: Troyes had hoped he could move closer to availability after the international break, but no competitive return is yet confirmed.
4. Merwan Ifnaoui
Merwan Ifnaoui remains in recovery from a calf injury.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation.
Possible return: A post-international-break return had been considered possible, but no match has been confirmed.
5. Alexandre Phliponeau
Alexandre Phliponeau is recovering from an adductor injury.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation.
Possible return: No guaranteed competitive date.
6. Yacouba Koné
Yacouba Koné suffered a serious knee injury shortly after entering Troyes' September 19 match against Angers. He required a stretcher after spending only a few minutes on the pitch.
Coach Stéphane Dumont expressed serious concern that the injury could involve the anterior cruciate ligament. However, because I have not found a reliable subsequent medical announcement confirming an ACL rupture, I am not listing that diagnosis as established.
Current status: Serious knee injury under medical assessment.
Possible return: No reliable timetable has been announced.
18. FC Lorient Injury Update
Lorient's injury list has grown again following the September 19 match against Le Mans.
1. Panos Katseris
Panos Katseris was forced off after only 17 minutes against Le Mans after feeling muscular pain. Lorient immediately withdrew him rather than risk aggravating the problem.
Current status: Recovering from a muscular injury.
Possible return: No confirmed date; the initial severity was uncertain.
2. Noah Mbamba
Noah Mbamba is recovering from a hamstring injury suffered during training.
Current status: Continuing hamstring rehabilitation.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive date.
3. Bandiougou Fadiga
Bandiougou Fadiga remains in rehabilitation from a hamstring problem.
Current status: Continuing rehabilitation.
Possible return: No confirmed competitive comeback.
4. Mohamed Bamba
Mohamed Bamba, who had made progress from his earlier fitness issues, is again dealing with physical discomfort.
Current status: Short-term fitness concern.
Possible return: No club-confirmed match date.
Current availability information ahead of Lorient's October 10 meeting with Paris FC lists Katseris, Mbamba, Fadiga and Bamba among the fitness concerns.
Which Ligue 1 Players Currently Have the Most Serious Injuries?
Several Ligue 1 players are dealing with injuries that are expected to require months of rehabilitation rather than a few matches on the sidelines.
Assane Dioussé — Auxerre: Long-term rehabilitation following an ACL rupture.
Bryan Okoh — Auxerre: Recovering from a serious cruciate ligament injury.
Maik Nawrocki — Lens: At least six months was initially expected following a complete left-knee ACL rupture.
Laurent Abergel — Nice: Long-term rehabilitation from a right-knee ACL rupture.
Antoine Mendy — Nice: Expected to miss several months following a left-knee cruciate ligament rupture.
Joaquín Panichelli — Strasbourg: Continuing ACL rehabilitation and not expected back before early 2027.
Hamza Igamane — Lille: Continuing long-term rehabilitation following an ACL injury.
Raphaël Le Guen — Brest: Facing several months out after fracturing his fibula in training.
Derek Cornelius — Marseille: Facing a lengthy absence because of a serious hip injury suffered on international duty.
Felix Mambimbi — Le Havre: Continuing rehabilitation from an Achilles tendon injury.
Stephan Zagadou — Le Havre: Long-term rehabilitation from a serious knee ligament injury.
Moïse Bombito — Nice: Recovering after requiring another operation on his previously injured left leg.
The exact recovery periods vary considerably. ACL rehabilitation in particular can change depending on surgery, rehabilitation progress, strength recovery, and the player's response when running and football-specific work resumes.
Players Making Progress in Their Injury Recoveries
There has also been significant positive news around Ligue 1 since the previous update.
Haris Belkebla — Angers: Returned to the matchday squad following his long rehabilitation from thigh surgery.
Louis Mouton — Angers: Returned to competitive availability after recovering from knee surgery.
Brendan Chardonnet — Brest: Has resumed running as his calf rehabilitation progresses.
Saud Abdulhamid — Lens: Returned for approximately 30 minutes in the October 2 friendly against Standard Liège.
Yacine Titraoui — Lens: Played approximately 35 to 40 minutes in the same Lens friendly.
Hamza Igamane — Lille: Has progressed into individual on-field work during his ACL rehabilitation.
Igor Paixão — Marseille: Returned to collective training after the injury that forced him off against PSG.
Tochukwu Nnadi — Marseille: Has returned to collective training following his knee problem.
Mohammed Salisu — Monaco: Returned to match involvement following long-term ACL rehabilitation.
Takumi Minamino — Monaco: Returned to match action following his lengthy knee rehabilitation.
Ansu Fati — Monaco: Returned to match involvement after his muscular problems.
Jonathan Ikoné — Paris FC: Returned to Ligue 1 action against Strasbourg.
Ousmane Dembélé — PSG: Returned from his hamstring injury and started against Marseille.
Désiré Doué — PSG: Recovered from his calf injury and also started against Marseille.
Djaoui Cissé — Rennes: Returned to match action during Rennes' October friendly.
Guillaume Restes — Toulouse: Returned to full training and competitive availability following his thigh injury.
Returning to running, individual training or friendly action does not automatically mean a player is ready for a full Ligue 1 match. I only remove a player entirely when the available evidence is strong enough to show that the previous injury is no longer keeping him out of normal selection.
Conclusion
Five matchdays into the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season, long-term knee injuries remain the biggest medical concern across the division. Auxerre continue to manage major absences involving Assane Dioussé and Bryan Okoh, while Lens are without Maik Nawrocki following his complete ACL rupture.
Nice remain particularly affected. Laurent Abergel and Antoine Mendy are both recovering from cruciate ligament injuries, while Moïse Bombito is rehabilitating again after further surgery. Brest have also suffered an important setback during the international period. Raphaël Le Guen fractured his fibula in training and is expected to miss several months.
Marseille's biggest concern is now Derek Cornelius, whose hip injury is expected to keep him out for an extended period. Amine Gouiri, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Amine Harit have shorter-term fitness situations to manage, although the club has received encouraging news regarding Igor Paixão, Tochukwu Nnadi and Himad Abdelli.
PSG have recovered Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, but Senny Mayulu has replaced them on the injury list after suffering a left-thigh injury with France's Under-21 team. Warren Zaïre-Emery is also completing his recovery from a minor thigh injury.
Troyes, Le Havre, Lorient and Brest currently have several unavailable players, while Angers and Rennes have seen their injury situations improve considerably. Ligue 1 resumes on Friday, October 9, 2026, when Lens host Lyon. The remainder of Matchday 6 will be played across October 10 and 11.
I will continue updating this GreenBall360 Ligue 1 injury tracker as clubs confirm new diagnoses, surgeries, rehabilitation progress, and player returns. The aim remains to keep the page useful rather than fill it with uncertain absences or speculative comeback dates.
Ligue 1 Injury Updates: Frequently Asked Questions
When did the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season begin?
The 2026/27 Ligue 1 season began on Friday, August 21, 2026, with Marseille against Strasbourg opening the campaign. The season contains 34 matchdays and is scheduled to conclude on May 29, 2027.
How many clubs compete in Ligue 1?
18 clubs are competing in Ligue 1 during the 2026/27 season:
Angers SCO
AJ Auxerre
Stade Brestois 29
Le Havre AC
Le Mans FC
RC Lens
LOSC Lille
Olympique Lyonnais
Olympique de Marseille
AS Monaco
OGC Nice
Paris FC
Paris Saint-Germain
Stade Rennais
RC Strasbourg Alsace
Toulouse FC
ESTAC Troyes
FC Lorient
Which clubs were promoted to Ligue 1 for 2026/27?
Troyes and Le Mans were promoted to Ligue 1 for the 2026/27 season.
How often do I update this Ligue 1 injury list?
I review the tracker every week or two throughout the season, but major injuries, surgeries, and confirmed player returns can be updated sooner when reliable information becomes available.
The point is not to change the page simply for the sake of saying it was updated. I would rather make meaningful changes when there is reliable new information.
Why do some Ligue 1 clubs have no injured players listed?
It does not mean I am claiming every player in the squad is 100 percent fit. French clubs differ significantly in the amount of medical information they publish. If a player disappears from a matchday squad without a confirmed injury explanation, I do not automatically add him to the tracker.
That approach helps prevent suspensions, illnesses, tactical decisions, and other non-injury absences from being incorrectly presented as injuries.
Why are some players from the previous version no longer included?
I remove players when there is reliable evidence that they have returned to normal training, matchday selection, or competitive involvement.
Since the previous update, players including Haris Belkebla, Louis Mouton, Nicolas Kocik, Jonathan Ikoné, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Guillaume Restes have made sufficient progress to be removed from their previous injury entries.
Several Monaco players have also returned to action, while Igor Paixão, Tochukwu Nnadi and Himad Abdelli have resumed collective training. Players are also removed if they leave their club or if later information establishes that their absence was caused by suspension, illness, a transfer situation or another non-injury reason.
Are expected Ligue 1 return dates guaranteed?
No. Recovery timelines can change depending on rehabilitation progress, follow-up examinations, training response, match fitness and setbacks.
If a club gives an estimated absence of several weeks, I treat that as an estimate rather than a guaranteed comeback date. Where there is no credible timetable, the return is simply listed as unconfirmed.
Are suspensions included in this Ligue 1 injury list?
No. This tracker focuses on injuries, rehabilitation, and genuine fitness-related absences. Suspensions, disciplinary absences, transfer-related absences and illnesses are not included.
